12-03-27 -- KITGUM, UGANDA -- Bedridden nodding disease victim Vicky Aciro, 14, in her mother's hut near Kitgum, Uganda on Tuesday, March 27. While the Ugandan Government has opened nodding disease treatment centres at major northern hospitals, many in villages are unable to access the services due to transport costs and the limited mobility of the patient. Aciro lives across the road from the Okidi Central Village Health Centre and is able to access services, but nurse Agnes Oroma says travelling doctors would be able to assist those living further away. Some can't afford to go to the main hospital and some are stuck in villages which are not near transport. It's really difficult, says Oroma. Photo by Daniel Hayduk
